      It's pronounced Latinx. A thread.

      I'm a Spanish-speaking person who was born and raised in Latin America. English is not my first language. I use the term Latinx all the time, increasingly so, both in Spanish and in English.

      The first time I heard the -x at the end of a noun was in South America more than a decade ago. My elder said it in reference to a group of friends. Instead of saying "amigos," they said "amigxs."

      I was confused at first. I asked about the pronunciation of the word; it was also explained to me that it included trans and gender non-confirming people. My elder, who's also Guarani, took the time to explain it this to me.

      For those of us who don't speak Spanish: our language is gendered. I won't get into why—but it's a solid feature that can be difficult to explain to English-only speakers.

      I’ve actually had a harder time discussing this native Spanish speakers. They feel it’s an attack on the language and impractical.

      I believe you. If you don’t mind, can you tell me some more? Is this with family? Are you yourself also a native Spanish language speaker?

      Yes, I am a native speaker born and raised in Mexico. I see it on social media and with friends that find it aesthetically unpleasing or that "it's too confusing" -- mostly because they think it applies to the "gender" of objects.

      Ah, ok. I get the confusion related to the gender of objects; what I’m tweeting about is groups of people (or individuals). So, nothing to do with turning “la casa” to “lx casx,” but thinking about gender-inclusive words likes amigxs.

      I’m also curious if there are women friends of yours who’ve reflected on the way that a group of “amigos” suspends their gender in the group. Not saying they would all necessarily agree, but I think there’s a split in how a lot of women and men see it.
